Ah yes, those foundational American principles of "support for law enforcement and border control." When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to Back the Blue and Build the Wall...

I'm not a criminal defense lawyer or anything, but I think I could probably come up with some evidence to support a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12(b)(3)(iv).

They take a littoral approach to the Bible.

Now more than ever it's important to make fun of the President. Every American should consider it their duty.

I understand that legislators legislate, but there already is a provision in the foundational law of our nation that protects speech, and that the president has already sworn his worthless oath to uphold it. So what else are you going to do? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

"We're not monsters--monsters answer to no one. We are goons. Big difference."

If your government job puts you in a situation where you feel compelled to say this, you are morally fucked if you don't quit.

Poor guys don't have enough time to get a declaration together (observing "business hours") explaining what they're doing to bring this man back to the U.S. How much time did Abrego Garcia have to get his evidence together to present it to a court? www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777...

I've never been a Treasury secretary, so what would I know, but I reckon transparently lying about easily checked facts won't calm fears in the market, or the broader population.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

This is how it's done. A strong and principled response by WilmerHale to the illegal Executive Order attack - a form of attempted government intimidation declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. This is how to guard the rule of law.

Trump hates American democracy. He hates open societies. He’s jealous of Xi and Putin. He wants America to be like Russia and he’s doing everything he can to make it so.

I've been convinced by the argument that one important way we protect our rights is by exercising them as if we expect that they will be protected, and demanding that they be protected when the government encroaches. (Of course this is a low-risk enterprise for most middle-aged white men.) 1/

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Hey guys, any other news?

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social, are you also on this Signal chat?

NYT: Oh no, what if they fail the test?? As @jvl.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social noted today, "no one is even pretending that the Department of Justice will conduct a good-faith investigation and, if warranted, prosecute this apparent law breaking."

Imagine being the CIA undercover operative just burned by the CIA director on the Signal/Yemen chat. She has probably bolted for a safehouse to figure out what to do, and her own off-the-books safehouse because she obviously can't trust the CIA.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president
